Too right Bob, although stupidity on the railway is not the preserve of the selfie-taker. I was once on a platform at Paddington when a late middle-aged, bowler-hatted, pin-striped gentleman ran past me, threw his brief case through the open window of a departing high speed train and proceeded to climb through the window despite protestations from platform staff. I saw his feet disappear through the window just before the train reached the signal post at the end of the platform. I think some kindly souls helped pull him through the opening and prevented what could have been a very nasty incident.
